Hi, I'm Elizabeth Weber. I'm a woodturner in Seattle, WA. I love to turn pieces and then carve on them. I've attached some examples I've worked on this year. I also love carving spoons - I view them as bowls with handles.

I'm getting more into adding color to pieces I work on and am really enjoying the process. Looking forward to getting to know more about the community through these forums!

Hi Rick! Thank you so much! If you ever venture up to the Seattle area, please let me know. It'd be great to meet another fellow woodturner in the PNW!

Cool! You're very local. Maybe I'll see you around the woodworking community.

Wow, it looks like you have a lot to offer us Elizabeth-- newbie you are not.

I'm curious about the spoons in your photos. How much turning was involved? I ask, because I'm trying to teach turning in a high school class. They are used to carving their spoons in the 8th grade and now that we have some lathes, we might try that.
Thanks

Hey Tom! Thank you! The spoons are actually all hand carved (I just really love carving, lol). I have seen people who turn spoons between centers and then carve the bowl portion last in order the avoid the handle whipping around the lathe. We recently had a demonstrator, Neal Brand, do an interesting spoon turning demonstration for our club. Not sure if this is helpful. I think combining spoons and woodturning would be a fun exercise for your high schoolers!

Welcome, Elizabeth, great to have another Left Coaster here! I'm on Bainbridge (big rock 9 mi west of Seattle). Love your photos -- you remind me of one of our Club mentors, who also loves turning and carving, and very artistic. Maybe you can come over on the ferry and visit the studio at Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network some day. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Hi Jamie! Thank you! I love Bainbridge Island - it's a nice ferry ride over from the city. I'd love to come by some day - BARN has a beautiful facility. Hopefully we can connect soon. Happy New Year!

Hi Elizabeth,

You did a recent demo for the Woodturners of Olympia and I (the camera guy) and my wife Barbe, who also does a lot to pyrography, were very impressed with your work. Will you be doing any upcoming classes on carving in the Seattle area. Barbe would like to attend.
